Sirens of Song!

Nov 28, 2010 04:00 AM - 07:00 AM

The Napa Valley Jazz Society's Parlor Jazz Series continues on Sunday, November 28 with three of the Bay Area's top vocalists, billed as the Sirens of Song. The 4 p.m. concert will be held at Silo's, Napa's premiere music club in the historic Hatt Building.
Singers Denise Perrier, Maye Cavallaro, and Lavay Smith will be backed by an all-star women’s quartet consisting of pianist Sue Crossman, bassist Carla Kaufman, Drummer Ruthie Price and Mary Fettig on sax and flute.
NVJS board member and co-founder Bruce Hopewell is serving as producer for this concert. "This is a historic coming together of these three notable Bay Area vocalists," he said. "Women and jazz have long been linked with the very best of the music’s rich heritage. I was familiar with many of the great ladies of jazz such as Ella, Dinah, Sarah, Lena and Carmen. This is the time to honor their unique contributions to the beginnings of jazz. With the Siren’s of Song, we can experience it first-hand in Napa."
